Not really. Microsoft did WSL to keep Linux users from leaving, and to gain back Windows server share. Both worked, but keeping me in Windows by allowing me to use Linux means I’m still using, expanding my usage, and becoming more dependent on Linux.
It’s exposing Windows devs to Linux, and getting people using it. Every WSL installation of Ubuntu is an installation that likely would never have been done otherwise.
Canonical should be able to see the warning sign in there

I am saying, the warning sign is if each time more of the linux installs are just wsl instead of people willingly installing ubuntu at their pc
WSL is people willingly installing Ubuntu on their PC… They’re just not using gnome unity or whatever Ubuntu uses these days.
Not if that is a default you get with a generic command such as “wsl --install”, which is what most will do without looking much into it, as I see it.
